Azimio leader Raila Odinga has said that the Kenya Kwanza government wants to treat beauty as a luxury. "Beauty industry has become a major employer particularly of our youth and women who have been unable to find work elsewhere," he said. He said the beauty industry has provided employment to hustlers, a group whose earnings President William Ruto's administration now wants to go after. The Bill is a promissory note to strangle and suffocate the hustlers that Ruto promised to remove the rope from their necks," Raila said. The CS also wants tax levied on eyelashes, switches and other beauty products including artificial nails.
